I heard from my yard manager yesterday that there is now a new chemical spray that when used with care and kept moist while it works with a wet rag will allow the removal of things attached with 5200. He claimed this was then the best adhesive to use for windows and other deck hardware instead of butyl tape. I had planned to have the yard use the 3M tape to hold/seal my new port-lights in place when I had new ones made. The current ones are 'screwed' into the coach sides and sealed, probably with butyl tape when they were done 10 years ago or so.
My questions to the list are--has anyone heard of or used this stuff and could this be another, perhaps better, solution when replacing the windows?

I posted something as regards tools that I used for removing the Plexus and prepping the ports for new panes. Keep in mind that I’m repainted the entire deck surfaces when the weather warms so I don’t have your requirement to be careful with the surrounding gelcoat… Anyway, I would think that if you don’t remove the old Plexus you will not achieve a flush fit with the new panes.

There is a layer of old adhesive (brown) between the two windows (and a section where the adhesive came off with the old windows) which will be covered by the new plexiglass. Does anyone have a recommendation as to whether I should remove (sand/chisel) the adhesive that remains between the wndows or just bring everything else up to that level when doing the gel coat and fiberglass repairs?

Secondly I would like some ideas on removing the old windows I did 7 years ago with sikkens 295. Along with removing the windows I will need to clean up the sikkens from the fiberglas to accept the 3M tape.
